High-Statistics Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Electron Spectrum with H.E.S.S
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +144
Owing to their rapid cooling rate and hence loss-limited propagation distance, cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CRe) at very high energies probe local cosmic-ray accelerators an…
A background-estimation technique for the detection of extended gamma-ray structures with IACTs
Tina Wach, Alison Mitchell, Lars Mohrmann
Estimation of the amount of cosmic-ray induced background events is a challenging task for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). Most approaches rely on a model of the…
H.E.S.S. observations of the 2021 periastron passage of PSR B1259-63/LS 2883
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +141
PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system that hosts a pulsar in an eccentric orbit, with a 3.4 year period, around an O9.5Ve star. At orbital phases close to periastron passages,…
Unveiling extended gamma-ray emission around HESS J1813-178
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +147
HESS J1813178 is a very-high-energy -ray source spatially coincident with the young and energetic pulsar PSR J18131749 and thought to be associated with its pulsar wind ne…
Curvature in the very-high energy gamma-ray spectrum of M87
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +132
The radio galaxy M87 is a variable very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray source, exhibiting three major flares reported in 2005, 2008, and 2010. Despite extensive studies, the origin of…
Acceleration and transport of relativistic electrons in the jets of the microquasar SS 433
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +161
SS 433 is a microquasar, a stellar binary system with collimated relativistic jets. We observed SS 433 in gamma rays using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), finding a…
